signal: Properly deliver SIGSEGV from x86 uprobes
[ Upstream commit 4a63c1ffd384ebdce40aac9c997dab68379137be ] For userspace to tell the difference between an random signal and an exception, the exception must include siginfo information. Using SEND_SIG_FORCED for SIGSEGV is thus wrong, and it will result in userspace seeing si_code == SI_USER (like a random signal) instead of si_code == SI_KERNEL or a more specific si_code as all exceptions deliver. Therefore replace force_sig_info(SIGSEGV, SEND_SIG_FORCE, current) with force_sig(SIG_SEGV, current) which gets this right and is shorter and easier to type.
